Exceptionally.

So is most of the new Triumph range. They have got the web site together - everything that shows is available in NZ and is priced in NZD.

I bought the grandson the jigsaw tee and the one on the way the jump suits.

I have the Retro leather jacket and the jeans. I had to order 'long' fitting jeans and they took 4 days to get here.

Tracy just looked fabulous for the KR photo shoot.

Could'nt resist when I was there and ordered a leather bike jacket, replace my thin old leather one.
Pretty subtle, black, with shoulder and elbow padding with Triumph Motorcycles on the breast in yellow, small, and on the back too.
Not loud, just nice.

Hmm....she does look good too!

Maybe folk forget what make of motorcycle they're on so must wear branded stuff as a memory jogger.

It and the pants faired bloody well in the torrentual down pour on the way too the Cold
Duck. Which is a damn sight more important than looking kawl IMHO.

Your Honor, the Prosecution rests....

Personally I'd have a Porsche over a Ferrari too but you can see my point.

That's good news. My jacket held up well in a down pour too, though I was wearing jeans that day. Nothing worse than that first trickle of water to hit your crotch!

A number of folk where moaning how wet and heavy their leather kit got. A few popped over to the only open fire at the Duck to dry off and have a natter.

What a load of bollacs you all must of seen the guy or couple who have the full braded package you see the brand new bike, the clothes, and you know the sales man has taken their bank account to the cleaners, Yuppie Hardley owners are the worst at this, so if the gear is all bright and shiny new its all Wank.

So what, we all had to start with new gear some time or other. Remenber when you had a new bike or a new jacket. We all put our riding pants on one leg at a time and are all out there on the road doing it. Does it really matter?

Well this is cool. The sum of Cool still equals the total Wank - tied 50/50.

I have finally found an issue that divides KB right down the middle. Oh and my new Ducati long sleeved T shirt arrived from Glasgow (Gift from my Mum). Ducati IOM '78
